Summary

PHYSICAL, SENSORY, MICROBIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL ANALYSES WERE CARRIED OUT ON JACK MACKEREL DURING 23 DAYS OF STORAGE IN ICE. SENSORY RESULTS INDICATE THAT JACK MACKEREL USED IN THIS TRIAL HAD A SHELF-LIFE OF 7 DAYS. AEROBIC PLATE COUNTS NEVER EXCEEDED 1,000,000/G FLESH DURING THE FIRST 11 DAYS. THE K VALUE REACHED 20% AFTER 7 DAYS. TRIMETHYLAMINE, TOTAL VOLATILE BASE, PH AND THIOBARBITURIC ACID ANALYSES WERE NOT GOOD INDICATORS OF CHANGES IN QUALITY.
